Jean Landry (born 3 October 1948 in Saint-Valère, Quebec) was a member of the House of Commons of Canada from 1993 to 1997. His career has included photography and food preparation.[1]
He was elected in the Lotbinière electoral district under the Bloc Québécois party in the 1993 federal election, thus he served in the 35th Canadian Parliament.[2] In Parliament, he questioned the government's policies on subsidies for dairy farmers.[3] Upon the creation of the Canada Health and Social Transfer, Landry referred to it as "one of the worst incursions of federalism into provincial jurisdiction".[4]
During the 1997 federal election, he faced a contested nominating convention within the BQ. Landry described himself as a "militant" member of the Parti Quebecois and accused other PQ members of infiltrating the local riding association.[1] He came in 3rd place in the nomination convention, losing to Odina Desrochers.[1] Landry decided to run as an independent and received 6% of the vote.[1]
He joined the federalist Progressive Conservative party for the 2000 federal election and unsuccessfully campaigned for a Parliamentary seat in the Lotbinière—L'Érable riding. After electoral districts were restructured, Landry made another unsuccessful bid for Parliament in the 2004 federal election at the Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière riding, after his party became the Conservative party. He campaigned for the Conservatives again in the Richmond—Arthabaska riding in the 2006 general election.[5]
In the 2021 Canadian federal election, Landry was the People's Party of Canada candidate in Trois-Rivières, but finished in 5th place.[6]
